The United States National Women’s Volleyball team, which includes three former Nebraska stars, was upset by Turkey Wednesday night at the Devaney Center in Lincoln.

The Turkish team, ranked 12th in the world, surprised the second ranked USA squad in the five set decision as part of the FIVB Nations League event.

Team USA had beaten Poland Tuesday and will finish off its stay in Lincoln by taking on seventh ranked Italy Thursday evening.

The squad includes former Huskers Jordan Larson, Kelsey Robinson and Justine Wong-Orantes. It will continue the series with matches in Japan, Thailand, China and Argentina.
